4 Smart Moves to Achieve Financial Peace of Mind

Financial peace of mind is one of the most important things Angie and I have been able to achieve in life. It was a long time coming, but I can tell you that beyond a shadow of a doubt, our financial freedom has had an incredible impact on our lives that goes far beyond money and finances.

In this article, I’ll show you how getting financial peace of mind has changed our lives for the better, as well as some of the most important things you can do to achieve financial peace of mind in your own life.

When we finally decided we had to do something about it, it took a couple of years for true change to take hold. But once we took the time to learn good financial habits and apply them to our lives, our financial peace of mind has done nothing but increase!

What We Have Accomplished Financially

Since those early days we’ve accomplished some pretty awesome financial milestones!

Achieve a level of happiness and peace in our lives that would be much more difficult to achieve if we were deep in debt and worrying about how to pay the bills.

Anyone Can Achieve Financial Peace of Mind

One of the cool things about achieving financial peace of mind is that we understand that we’re not special. Over the years of gaining our own financial freedom and teaching others how to do it, we’ve come to realize that financial peace is something anyone can achieve!

How to Achieve Financial Peace of Mind

So what does it take to get the financial peace of mind that so many of us want but only a few actually get?

People with financial peace of mind understand:

Consumer debt is not conducive to financial peace of mind, and should be avoided.

Saving for retirement is possible, even if you have a low income.

Cash is king, and when you set up your finances to reflect that, your financial life gets tremendously easier.

You can’t go from being a normal broke person to having financial peace of mind without changing your mind about how money should be used. Here are some of my best posts on how to get a better mindset when it comes to money.

Learn to Manage Your Money

Another important part of becoming financially free is knowing how to manage your money well. According to a survey I did here on CFF a few months ago, 75% of people are doing an inadequate budget or no budget at all.

A Detailed Budget is the Solution

Angie and I have been doing a detailed written budget every single month for a dozen years now. It’s by far the most important thing we do to stay on track financially. It’s the number one tool we used to achieve financial peace of mind.

We discovered long ago that when we have a plan for every dollar, we don’t have to resort to credit cards and other types of debt to run our financial life.

Invest in Your Future

After you have relentlessly tackled your debt, investing in your future is the next key to getting financial peace of mind. Following the previous three steps allows you to get complete control over your money and have an abundance you never would have achieved by being normal and broke.

Financial Peace of Mind is Worth the Journey

Financial peace of mind is not as elusive as most people believe it is. I truly believe most anybody can achieve it.

However, it takes time and effort to bring financial freedom into your life, and most people are just not willing to make the sacrifice.

I will tell you from experience though, that it’s totally worth the journey!

Angie and I haven’t had a money fight in a dozen years, and our financial stress levels are pretty close to zero!

We followed the steps above to gain our financial freedom. I guarantee if you follow them too, your results will be beyond your wildest expectations!
